Hello.

In lieu of this post:

I have since written a utility to remove all extraneous spaces in your source-code.

NOTE: This program works online as well as offline.

To use it, either run it and read the directions or press a key to continue.

From there press ALT-TAB to choose the Windows task that has the Pico-8 code you want to fix.

Press CTRL+A and CTRL+C to highlight and copy it all to the clipboard.

Press CTRL+V back in my program.

It will be pasted and examined. Any leading spaces on your code will be tallied and truncated.

If you are running this online, don't forget to press CTRL+C.

Once that is done, return to your highlighted program and if you are using the puny font anywhere in your code, go to press CTRL+P now. Then press CTRL+V. Then press CTRL+P again.

If you are not using the puny font, just press CTRL+V only.

And there you have it !

Neatly truncated code without invisible spaces eating up the 64k of your program !

For instance, I checked my game "Mildew Manor" and found it had 33-empty spaces in the code. Truncated and saved back now.

HOPE THIS HELPS !
